Weight Loss Tips For Lazy People

Most people who are overweight blame their job for their inability to eat right and get enough exercise. Too much work, too tired after work, too much travel. The list is endless. But losing weight is so important for you career that you should go so far as to cut back on your work-officially or furtively - in order to lose the weight.We've all got a weakness for something brimming with calories. Knowing how to cope with cravings and resist bad menu choices in restaurants can make or break your weight-loss plan. Here's how our successful losers did it:

1) First before the start - make sure you are ready for this

Ask yourself the following questions:

1) Is weight loss your top priority? 2) Is dieting right for you? 3) Do you have the right motivation? 4) Are you able to devote 20-30% of your time to your body? 5) Would you accept the things you can not change? 6) Do your family and friends support you?

If your answer is YES to all the above questions then you are ready.

2. There Is No Miracle Pill

For any one to Loss weight he or she must realise that there is NO miracle pill

3. Workout smartly

Did you know you can actually lose more weight & keep your metabolism fired up longer by doing 3-to-4 shorter 10-minute workouts instead of 1 big 30-to-40-minute cardio workout?

A research study at the university of Pittsburgh found that women who split up their 40 minute cardio workouts into 4 separate 10 minute cardio workout sessions during the day LOST 20 pounds while... the group of women who did one big 40 minute cardio workout only lost 14 pounds and...

The reason why more shorter workouts are better is because you never give your fat burning metabolism a chance to slow down.

4. Push in two fruits or vegetables with every meal you eat. This will fill your stomach and help you cut down on the calories you would take in from the other foods.

5. Reduce carbs. We have found that it's almost impossible to lose weight and keep it off without eating substantially fewer carbohydrates, particularly those with a high glycemic load (GL). As we discussed in "Carbohydrates and the Glycemic Load," consumption of high-GL carbohydrates leads to a desire for more carbohydrates.

6. Eat Breakfast Skipping meals would only pave the way for over-eating.

7. Vitamins are good for you. If you're going to take any pills, let them be natural supplements (like Essential Fatty Acids or multivitamins). Be careful about overdoing it, though - especially with herbal remedies. Too much of anything is a bad thing. You can consult a nutritionist, but always buy on your own - and keep these supplements to a minimum. Remember, too, that specific vitamins are no good without specific minerals.

8. Ignore Ronald McDonald. You don't have to eliminate fast food completely, but you should avoid it at all costs. Most of it is nasty, bad stuff anyway - if you'd even go as far as to call it food. If you're looking for convenience, find a more convenient meal source. Besides, most of what they serve would be considered "food product," not food. There's a gigantic difference as far as your body is concerned. Your bloodstream does not have taste buds, need I remind you?

9. Make chocolates a luxury item! It's important that you keep chocolate only as a luxury item, and don't eat them solely on routine. Chocolate is not very healthy, because of all the sugar and fat they contain, so don't over indulge in them.

10. Track Your Weight Loss Progress

Reward yourself regularly, (don't use food as a reward) buy a new outfit, get a new hair style, even if it's just a grin of approval in the mirror.Don't weigh yourself every day. Instead, get on the weight scales once a week to avoid discouragement. Instead of obsessing over your weight, keep track of your waist measurement, body fat percentage or clothing size. Have 2 pieces of clothing to help you track your progress. ! that's way too tight and one that fits perfectly at the start of your diet. Try them on every 4 weeks.Create a small graph like the one below with one line that shows your weekly target progress and the other that shows your actual progress. Make your target progress very realistic, say 1lb a week so that you can easily exceed it and keep highly motivated.
